Goodbye summer…

This is pretty much my summer in a nutshell… there was lots of beach and delicious sunsets, quite a bit of sangria, an enormous amount of figs, Lisbon festivals in June, quite a bit of camping, seafood, more figs, more beach, Serra da Estrela, Algarve, Alentejo, more sangria and lots and lots of dogwalking. In between all of this there were 21 weddings and countless other shoots and things… and the fact that the rain in Spain does NOT stay mainly on the plain, but you already heard about that… It was a good summer, but now it´s almost over. But that´s ok, because autumn is pretty great too, although if the good weather wants to hang around a bit longer, I´m not going to complain one bit!

All of these photos were taken on an iPhone and edited with the vscocam app… for those of you who insist that photography is all about the camera, yeah… not so much. If you follow me on Instagram you would probably have seen these already.

Whilst your saying goodbye we’re saying hello! We’re in NZ so the spring and longer days are just starting
We’re originally from the UK so the change in seasons does get a bit confusing at times. I celebrate my birthday in October so now it’s Spring were as my husband John celebrates his birthday at the end of June which was in the summer in the UK but is now Winter. There is an up side they have two Christmases. One in December but one in the winter.I asked a local when in the winter do they celebrate Christmas and they said when ever you want! We have it on my husbands birthday so it’s some consolation
